Just how much fresh water is there on Earth? These water droplets compare the volumes of water on Earth with the volume of Earth itself. Looked at this way, the oceans are just a very thin film on the surface of our planet.We need sustainable water solutions. Urgently. Bottom line, the familiar image of Earth from space is massively misleading. So much blue, yet so little water compared with the volume of our planet. And so very, very little water that we can a), drink, and b), access easily.

All the water in oceans, ice caps, lakes, rivers, groundwater, atmospheric water, people, animals and plants adds up to 1,386,000,000 km3 by volume.

The need to identify, develop and roll out sustainable water solutions is becoming more pressing every day. The combination of a growing human population and climate change are fuelling political and socio-economic tensions. Fresh water, fairly and readily available, is central to sustainable development, healthy ecosystems and, ultimately, human survival.

Amiblu’s mission is to speed up the world’s transition to sustainable water solutions. How? Through boundless imagination, solid science and great teamwork. From R&D and innovation, to engineering and quality manufacturing, to partnerships and co-creation around pipeline and pipe-related sustainable water management. Everything we need to get the water to the people.

SUSTAINABLE WATER

SOLUTIONS

Two powerful brands coming together

Amiblu is a 50:50 joint venture whose goal is to develop and deliver fully sustainable water solutions. Amiblu combines Amiantit Europe and its Flowtite Technology, and Hobas Europe, part of WIG Wietersdorfer Holding, and is the specialist in drinking water, irrigation, waste water, hydropower and industry. The two businesses have distinct expertise that complement each other perfectly. Hobas is a leader in ‘centrifugally cast’ pipe systems, and Flowtite in ‘continuous filament wound’ pipe systems. Amiblu’s headquarters is in Klagenfurt, Austria, and the company has production facilities in Germany, Austria, Spain, Poland and Romania. It has R&D centres in Norway and Austria, and employs around 1,500 people.

Our licensee partners around the world, plus an extensive network of sales and engineering offices, add a further global dimension. The result is that wherever our customers require a sustainable, high performance solution, Flowtite Technology and Hobas come together to deliver precisely what they require.

Amiblu is the world’s largest supplier of GRP pipe systems and solutions. Our GRP pipes are both exceptionally strong and light-weight, resistant against corrosion and abrasion, they feature optimal hydraulics and a remarkably long, maintenance-free lifetime of more than 100 years.

We can have sustainable water

Why are we replacing pipes every generation when it’s not necessary?Why are we allowing corrosion and leakage to pollute our waterand environment when we can stop it? Why are we paying more today for something that lasts half as long when there’s no need to?Why are we generating extra emissions by transporting ductile iron and steel when we don’t have to? This can’t be right.

It can’t be right because in every case there’s a better, simpler, smarter and more sustainable answer to using concrete, ductile iron and steel to build pipelines for water. And that answer is GRP. GRP pipeline solutions outperform concrete, ductile iron and steel pipes on every dimension. Like plastic, GRP pipes are lighter, easier, more flexible and cheaper to transport and install than concrete, ductile iron and steel. Unlike plastic, GRP are more rigid and can be used to create large-diameter pipes that are strong at low weight.

In terms of CO2 emissions, GRP beats concrete, ductile iron and steel every time. GRP pipes have a lower manufacturing, transportation and lifecycle footprint. They last over 100 years. They are corrosion-free. And whereas plastic pipes become uneconomic at large diameters because of the thick pipe walls needed to make them robust, the latest impact resistant GRP pipes offer a sustainable and competitive alternative to concrete, ductile iron and steel.

In a world where the demand for water is increasingly stressing available supplies and resources, our industry needs these benefits. GRP’s low flow coefficient, for example,

means hydropower schemes can generate more energy from each cubic metre of water that passes through the turbine. It also reduces pumping costs in potable water and irrigation systems. That same low flow coefficient makes otherwise marginal, low-gradient hydro schemes economic, while the light weight and easy handling of GRP pipes make them ideal for bringing water and power to and from remote areas and communities. Plus, GRP pipes last for decades, which supports long pay-back times. They also do not corrode, foul up or clog, and so require virtually no cleaning and maintenance. And what is true for hydropower is also true for potable water, wastewater, industry and irrigation.

With Amiblu GRP pipeline solutions, we are bringing the benefits of lightweight technologies to large diameter pipeline systems. Amiblu is a joint venture between Amiantit Flowtite and Hobas to provide fully sustainable water solutions. Our solutions cover GRP pipes, tanks, CSOs, inspection chambers and more, all engineered for sustainability across the supply chain. Our services include consultancy, engineering design and installation. With Amiblu, we are solving the ‘whys’ and so helping the world meet our growing demand for water – sustainably.

We can be smarter about how we deliver water

Talk of smart cities and smart technologies immediately conjures up images of the Internet of Things, big data, algorithms and artificial intelligence. Fridges that tell us to buy more butter. Street lighting that brightens and dims as we drive by. But ‘smart’, in the broadest sense, has a role to play in engineering and deploying sustainable water solutions, too.

All around the world, people want our industry to provide them with secure supplies of clean drinking water. They want reliable water for agricultural, industrial, power generation and other uses. They want us to separate and treat sewage safely. They want us to prevent the pollution of their rivers, lakes and underground fresh water sources. And they want us to do all this with minimal disruption to their daily lives. Smart can help us get there. To us, being smart involves not only data, sensors, connectivity and software, it also involves new product and service concepts and step-change innovation. As Amiblu, we believe in applying ‘smart’ thinking across the board. It begins with the benefits offered by GRP technology, and spreads from there.

Take cities. Smart cities separate stormwater flows and sewage to prevent the pollution of ground and river water. But this is not always possible. However, rather than simply accepting the risks posed by all-in-one sewage and stormwater systems, we have developed a Combined Sewer Overflow chamber. This custom-made solution outperforms traditional overflow systems by doing a better job at

separating solid waste from stormwater before the latter drains into a river or lake. That’s smart. Going further, we envision working with installation partners, IT specialists and network operators to transform dumb pipes and inspection holes into connected ones. This way we could monitor flow and water level data to provide early warning of sewage leaks and surge events; measure pressure and flow rates to adjust and optimise hydropower production; and measure pressure and flow to manage water supplies and irrigation systems.

We can also use smart thinking to improve the installation and maintenance of our water networks. GPS-based network registration, for example, can prevent pipelines getting ‘lost’ in the future, while also documenting the design and other critical criteria. Smart is also behind our ‘no dig’ jacking solution for new build pipelines, and our ‘push through’ relining concept that extends the life of ageing sewer systems by decades. Both speed up installation while reducing civil works, traffic hindrance and general inconvenience.

All this is smart. And we have only just begun.

...if we manage it well

Less than 1% of the water on our planet can be used for human consumption. Yet despite this, there is no global water shortage in overall terms. And where water is short, the situation can be mitigated through the integrated management of our available water resources. For instance, by aligning our water use patterns with the needs of different users, including the environment.

So, while there may not be much water, we do have enough water. We just need to get smart about how we manage the water we have.

We have enough water...

We need a circular water economy

w

Wastewater is the natural starting point for the circular revolution. It begins with improving our water infrastructure and using water more intelligently. For example, water becomes increasingly polluted as it travels down pipes, eventually making it impossible to use it again. So, use smarter pipes that enable us to reuse water again and again.

Thinking in circular terms is also good for businesses. For example, it is now possible to generate heat and power from organic waste in ways that sterilize that waste, make it more biodegradable, and enable the recovery of contaminants for reuse. Like recovering ammonia to make ammonium sulphate fertiliser.

Always at the forefront As Amiblu, we are stimulating the spirit of innovation with the best science and creativity companywide. We are introducing new standards for life cycle assessment and long-term performance. We are training and supporting engineers around the world and leading research and action to improve drinking water and make clever use of wastewater. We are adding smart intelligence to our pipes and developing solutions that will easily exceed our 150-year standard. We are laying claim to the next big advances in sustainable water management.

Wastewater is our largest category of untapped waste. A huge opportunity. A circular economy would value wastewater for its potential, rather than discard it or ignore it. As well as providing an ‘extra’ source of water, safe wastewater management can help protect our ecosystems and supply us with energy, phosphorus, nitrogen and other nutrients and recoverable materials.

AgricultureAnd finally, there’s agriculture. The growing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides makes agriculture an increasing source of potential environmental pollution. Pollution of ground and surface water caused by the release of untreated or inadequately treated agricultural wastewater is a major issue in many developing countries. But, with the appropriate treatment, wastewater can supply both much-needed water and valuable nutrients. This would improve food security and standards of living.

As populations grow, it’s getting harder and harder to ensure sufficient safe water supplies for everyone. And with climate change and the degradation of nature, we cannot simply take more water from lakes, rivers and aquifers. We need to actively manage the full water cycle from a water sustainability perspective. From fresh water abstraction, pre-treatment, distribution, use, collection and post-treatment, to the use of treated wastewater and its eventual return to the environment, ready for the cycle to start over.

Repurpose our wastewaterOne way to manage our fresh water better is to be smarter about managing wastewater. Globally, 80% of wastewater goes back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. The drinking water of some 1.8 billion people puts them at risk of

cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. But suppose that instead of flushing raw wastewater into drains and channels, we repurposed it to help us meet the growing demand for water in our increasingly urbanising society? Wouldn’t that be a huge step forward? Well, we can.

Wastewater, intelligently managed, can play a major role in meeting the growing water demand in our rapidly expanding cities. It can be used to enhance energy production and industrial development. It can support sustainable agriculture.

Cities Take cities. Why use drinking water for irrigating public spaces and cleaning streets, when we could be using clean but not potable wastewater instead? Treating wastewater according to intended usage can make recovery more cost effective.

IndustryThen there’s industry. Industry accounts for 22% of global water use. But that average hides some dramatic differences. Industry’s share of water use is roughly 50% in developed countries, but only 4-12% in developing countries. The latter figure is expected to rise quickly. The more businesses reuse their wastewater internally, or share it with other industries nearby, the better for everyone. Opportunities include using process water for heating or cooling, and rainwater for toilet flushing, irrigation or washing vehicles.

Managing storm and wastewater in new and smarter ways

Managing urban wastewater and stormwater is a huge challenge that ranges from coping with the consequences of rapid urbanisation and growing populations, to the impact of climate change. As a result large parts of our urban and ex-urban wastewater and stormwater networks are, or soon will be, undersized, underperforming and not up to the job.

The risks of flooding and sewage discharge into urban areas and waterways are seen all too often as major cities suffer inundations, transport gridlock and repair bills that, at best, jeopardise growth and future investment, and, at worst, endanger life.

Only 2% of the 165 billion m3 of wastewater that is collected and treated throughout the world is currently reused.*

The ideal answer isn’t always idealThe ideal solution is to keep stormwater and wastewater sewers separate. But in many cases, this means ripping out existing combined storm and wastewater systems and replacing them with two new and independent networks. This is expensive, disruptive and controversial, especially when dealing with historic towns and cities. But there are other possibilities. As Amiblu, we’re working on new and smart solutions to improve the management of storm and wastewater in existing combined sewerage systems. Our Combined Sewer Overflow chamber, for example, is extremely efficient and effective at separating

suspended solids from wastewater. These solids are then guided to a wastewater treatment plant, leaving the cleaned water to be led into the water course, safely.

A life-extending solution for combined sewersEach Amiblu CSO chamber is individually designed and optimised based on flow analysis data, conceivable flow rates and available working space. The result is reliable stormwater overflow, a low-maintenance and self-cleaning system, the optimal separation of suspended solids and extra storage. Being modular, every chamber is quick to install, requires little space or excavation work and can withstand high traffic loads with minimum covering. Simple. Smart. Effective.

Agriculture is the largest consumer of the world’s freshwater resources and looks set to remain so.

The production of biofuels could require as much water as it takes to extract fossil fuels.

Not only is the demand for food growing, but the move from starch-based diets to more meat and dairy-based ones is further driving up water consumption.

Efficiency measures, such as employing precision irrigation systems that adapt according to data from water providers, can help save water and energy throughout the agri-food chain.

There’s a tension at the heart of growing oranges commercially. Orange trees like lots of sunshine and lots of water, but lots of sunshine tends to mean not much water. Compounding the challenge is that in many places, irrigation systems are open channel, so much of the already scarce water evaporates.

It doesn’t have to be this way. When 1,800 farmers near Valencia, Spain, replaced their open channel irrigation system with an 11,000 metre GRP pipeline and drip irrigation network, water consumption fell by a third while orange production increased by a third. And the time to first fruit of young orange trees fell by two years. So, less water used, more food produced. That’s the kind of sustainable food production we need more of.

We need more sustainable power

Producing oil and gas, growing biofuels and fracking for shale gas are all water intensive. Highly so. This makes them unsustainable in a world of increasingly stretched water resources. Amiblu is committed to leading the way in supporting the transition to fossil-fuel free energy production and less water-intensive renewables, like hydropower. Hydropower, along with wind and geothermal energy, is a key component in every sustainable energy mix.

LIMA, PERU, is a vibrant city of light. Amiblu penstocks play a vital role in keeping it that way, sustainably, with a green hydropower project, 180 kms in the mountains.

Hydro is central to the renewables mix

As readily accessible locations are used up, hydropower engineers are turning to steeper and harder-to-reach locations to generate the power we need for our cities and industries. Sustainable GRP pipes help because they are easier to transport and install than concrete, ductile iron and steel pipes. And that’s not all.

Our lightweight, low-maintenance, long-life pipes are also helping to bring power to remote communities. Amiblu pipes have already played a key role in hydropower schemes in difficult-to-access areas of Chile, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Scotland, Norway and Iceland, as well as Alpine and other regions. Innovations like using short pipes to reduce the number of bends and thrust blocks, couplings that eliminate the need for fittings, and the use of long-drawn curves that facilitate the hydraulics, all make a difference.

Small hydropower projects are very pipe intensive but provide interesting financial returns to investors as well as sustainable energy. Between 2015 and 2020 an additional 1500MW* of small hydropower capacity will be installed in Europe alone. This will demand over €350M of pipes every year.

Hydropower is the leading renewable source for electricity generation globally, supplying 71% of all renewable electricity. Reaching 1,064 GW of installed capacity in 2016, it generated 16.4% of the world’s electricity from all sources.

Tons of CO2 savedIn Poland, for example, we cut the disruption, time, cost and carbon footprint of deploying a 3-m diameter, 5.7 km long pipeline extension to Warsaw’s Czajka wastewater treatment plant. The combination of high-strength, thin-walled GRP pipes and smart jacking technology led to a 30% reduction in soil extraction versus open trenching, and enabled us to shrink the size and number of construction locations. The use of smaller equipment, plus fast assembly and small curve radii, helped to further reduce construction costs. But the icing on the cake was the reduction in carbon footprint. From manufacturing through to installation and clean-up, using Amiblu pipeline and jacking technologies saved an estimated 376,734 tons of CO2 compared with a trenchless installation, leading it to win the Polish National Energy Globe Award.

From the ‘Via Baltica’ to Las VegasSome projects are huge, some small, some straightforward, some complex – in all combinations. Over the years we’ve supplied a stormwater tank for IKEA, in Bayonne, France, a 1000 m³ GRP potable water tank for Pitomača. Croatia (in just five days), provided vital ring road drainage for the Vilnius, Lithuania section of the ‘Via Baltica’, and completed a 500-m jacking run in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Besides jacking, this project involved open-cut and slipline sections, all employing GRP pipes of various lengths, diameters and stiffness classes. Our smart Combined Sewer Overflow solutions have helped to improve the management of storm and wastewater In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany, and so prevent disruption to communities and industry. In Bruchsal, Germany, our pipeline solutions proved ideal for overcoming the space, shallow gradient and digging restrictions involved in replacing an historic, large-diameter interceptor sewer. In Venice, Italy,

our pipeline helped to transform the Fusina sewage plant into a multipurpose facility that purifies sewage and stormwater from several surrounding towns, plus industrial effluents and polluted groundwater. To optimise treatment, the upgraded plant collects sewage separately on a strict rota, with some treated biologically and subsequently used by local industries, negating the need to divert river water. The remaining purified water is led through a 20-km pipeline out to sea.

Out with the coal, in with the newOn the industrial front, our GRP pipes play a crucial role in cooling a combined cycle power plant in Bouchain, France. This replaced a coal-fired plant and uses a gas turbine to generate electricity, with the heat this creates used to generate further power via a steam turbine. The result is 50% more power from the same fuel compared to a simple cycle plant. Plant operator EDF chose us for our on-site production and installation assistance, and the known high chemical, corrosion and abrasion resistance of our products, plus their light weight and easy handling, long lifetime, and the option of tailor-made fittings. And staying with industrial applications, our biaxial pipes and patented joint technology feature in the world’s largest desalination plant, Ras Al-Khair, in Saudi Arabia, a reality.

Spreading sustainable progressTurning to hydropower, we are bringing the benefits of this clean resource to communities in Morocco (where it is also providing agricultural irrigation), Chile, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Scotland, Norway and other countries. Smart thinking, like using shorter pipes to reduce bends, plus GRP’s natural weight, strength and low flow coefficient advantages over concrete, ductile iron and steel are all central elements in our hydropower story. As they are in every Amiblu project.

Amiblu brings together the expertise, experience and global footprint of two leaders in GRP sustainable water solutions: Amiantit Flowtite and Hobas. We have decades of experience across hundreds of potable and wastewater, industrial water supply, irrigation and hydropower projects worldwide.
